Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS), considered one of the leading seminaries in the U.S., has launched its first series of Arabic-language curriculum.
Starting this fall semester, the 101-year-old seminary expanded its ministry reach with online courses taught in Arabic for students pursuing either a Graduate Certificate in Christian Studies (GCCS) or the Master of Biblical and Theological Studies (MBTS), DTS announced on Dec. 5.
Under the program, the initial cohort of 10 students based in both the U.S. and the Middle East, are taking courses in a pre-recorded, online format with reading materials and resources in Arabic. Their first course is a biblical study of the theological concept of Trinitarianism, according to a seminary spokesperson.
Led by Milad F. Dagher, director of DTS-Arabic and associate professor of Old Testament studies, DTS’ Arabic-language program was launched following two years of discussions among DTS leadership about preparing students for ministry in Arabic. Then-DTS President Mark Bailey and current President Mark Yarbrough — who was also Dagher’s seminary classmate — were involved in forming specifics about Arabic-language instruction. In January 2024, Dagher began working remotely as a part-time adviser at DTS.
